Piled foundation

Support for heavy loads

When the subsoil reaches its limits, we bring stability to the depths. Piled foundations are the answer to difficult ground conditions, and we install them with the utmost precision and safety. We select the optimum pile system for maximum load-bearing capacity and stability, whether it’s slender, small bored piles, powerful driven piles or imposing, large bored piles with diameters of up to 2,000 mm and lengths of over 50 meters. TERRAS stands for special foundation engineering and delivers on its promises.

Our pile systems

  • Cased large-diameter bored piles (Kelly)
  • Cased bored piles (DKS/VDW)
  • Uncased bored piles (SOB)
  • Full-displacement bored piles (FDP)
  • Driven piles / pali radice
  • Small bored piles (GEWI/Ischebeck)

Overhead line construction and wind power

With power for energy

TERRAS offers bespoke, complete solutions for utility pole and wind turbine foundations. We offer a full range of services, including planning, structural analysis and implementation.

We deliver maximum efficiency, even in confined spaces – our specialized “low-head” machines allow for precise foundation work, even in areas with limited height. Depending on the requirements, we use either large-diameter bored piles or micropiles to build load-bearing foundations that are safe and durable.

Services

  • Planning and statics
  • Piling
  • Micropiles
  • Complete foundation work

Retaining walls

For maximum stability

The stability of the construction pit is essential for the success of any construction project. No matter how challenging the conditions are – with a basement or below water level ­– our shoring systems guarantee maximum stability and safety. From deep construction pits to tight spaces to extreme requirements, we rely on customized systems that adapt to every challenge.

Services

  • Beam shoring
  • Pile walls
  • Sheet pile walls
  • Straps / grouted anchors
  • Soldier pile and bored pile walls

Retaining wall constructions

We secure what’s important

Our systems ensure maximum safety where conventional embankments reach their limits. They are built directly from the ground up and provide an ideal solution in situations where constructing a natural slope is either impractical or undesirable. We rely on proven technology and sophisticated solutions that can withstand extreme loads. No risk, no compromises – just absolute reliability, which our customers have always valued.

We build

  • Pile walls
  • Sheet pile walls
  • Combined walls

Turnkey construction pits

Ready for construction

From the initial planning to final hauling, we supply complete construction pits from a single source. Our specialists oversee every step, ensuring precise planning, efficient implementation and execution at the highest quality. No need for coordination efforts, no surprises – just a solid foundation for your construction project. Let’s get in contact and turn your excavation project into a reality.

We implement

  • Planning and design
  • Static calculation and execution plans
  • Construction site preparation
  • Temporary construction pit systems
